One of the best ways we can increase funding for our schools is by taking advantage of Employer Matching Funds. Many companies, large and small, will match donations you already make. Double the impact of your donations by taking advantage of these great programs. Try to use the search box below or Contact LEAP for useful information on how to set up matching funds from your employer.
Did you know that local merchants have offered to donate 3% of what you spend with them to LEAP? By shopping with a “scrip card” at United Markets or Good Earth, you can earn valuable revenue for LEAP.
For the 2019/2020 school year, Scrip brought in over $9000 to LEAP
Simply present your card at checkout to confirm LEAP’s credit. If you have small kids, maybe ask them to help you remember to show your card at checkout!
Need a script card? Email us with your address and we’ll send a set.
One of LEAPs most significant sources of funding is Sponsorship. Sponsors are companies, foundations or generous patrons who have generously decided to support all of the children in the Lagunitas School District. Sponsorships are available at many levels from $10,000 to $500. Sponsors are thanked publicly on the LEAP website, at LEAP events and in community publications. Please contact our sponsorship team for more information, or go ahead and take the plunge!
Yes, even the mother of all shopping sites gives back to charity. By simply using the website smile.amazon.com you can help raise money for LEAP. It’s the same as the regular website except that Amazon will donate a percentage of everything you buy back to LEAP. If you’re already using Amazon why not make sure LEAP is your preferred charity.

Let’s all hope that the Valley Visions Music Series can be revived someday and we can all celebrate together in person.
The VVMS was a wonderful success! We had a series of four live music performances planned at the San Geronimo Valley Presbyterian Church. Two of those shows sold out! Unfortunately, we did have to cancel one show, Tim Bluhm, due to COVID.
Despite the cancellation, the music series made $3306 after all expenses were paid. The series was successful in other ways too:
Big thanks go to Kerry Olivotti and Amos Klausner for doing so much leg work and putting in the late nights to make the Valley Visions Music Series such a hit!
Want another way to contribute to the kids in our district? Volunteer with LEAP! This can take many forms: helping at fundraisers, gathering auction items, making phone calls, communicating with your community… Whatever gifts you have, you can share!

Join us on Wednesday, September 12, 2018, at Farm Burger in the Red Hill Center for our first Give Back Night of the year! 10% of all proceeds between 5 and 9 PM will be donated back to LEAP.
Passive fundraisers brought more than $9,000 to our district last year and all of this money goes straight to enrichment for the children in the Lagunitas School District.

Amazon will give .5% (that’s point five percent) of your purchases to LEAP! All you have to do is sign up at smile.amazon.com and be sure to start your purchases at http://smile.amazon.com (the SMILE part is important!). It may not sound like much but if we all use it regularly it will add up to a significant donation to our schools.
